Today, we got a chance to go hands-on with the upcoming DLC for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, and we’ve come back with a handful of screenshots showing off what’s being added to the game.

In addition to two new characters—Kat from Gravity Rush, and Emmett Graves from Starhawk—the game is also getting an additional stage. As with the rest of PS All-Stars‘ stages, it’s a blending together of elements from different PlayStation franchises—this time, Heavenly Sword and WipEout.

was hoping the new stage would actual be one from Gravity Rush along with Starhawk mix. Imagine a level where the players are falling to reach the bottom of the creators world (gravity rush thing). man that section of the game took forever lol.

Look at pic 4, Sly is scared as hell XD I cannot wait to play as Emmet and Kat :) Btw, are the stages free as well? All I've heard is that just characters are free for 2 weeks, dont know bout the stages though.

Holy crap, they still can't put Nathan Hale or a chimera from Resistance??? Fall of Man sold more then all those games combined and they still cant put them. Nice to see how sony supports their first killer and launch game. Shame.

Because you can see the future and know what characters are going to be part of the game. It doesn't matter if they want to put the character in the game, it's if the developer wants to put it in the game. Do you think they could just put a Chimera or Nathan Hale without talking and convincing Insomniac and asking their permission first? You should be asking Insomniac why they are taking so long to let Nathan Hale or a Chimera into the game.I am sure Superbot would be happy to accept an offer of new characters but what can they do until Insomniac gives the go ahead?

@ PhunnyJesta that is not up to Superbot or Sony. That is up to Activision and they don't have to listen or give up their characters if they don't want to. They don't have to follow Sony's schedule or their needs. They can damn well put Crash or Spyro if or when they want. Did you expect them to delay the whole game until Activision decided to hear them out? Suppose Activison told them they could negotiate with them until six months after the game was supposed to be released, should they have waited six more months just to put them in? Remember they are working on the developers terms not theior own. They can easily just say no and it wouldn't affect them in the least.

I don't think this is the last of the DLC for this game. Also, we have stages from resistance. So, I'm sure we will see them in the game, but before we do, SuperBot has to get the okay from insomniac.

Let's hope we get someone from OddWorld and Persona Games as well. I know the Developers would like to see them in the game. And the best thing about this is getting encouragement from other developers.

IMO, I think we are seeing Kat and Emmett in this game to help make them more known and help sell their current and maybe future titles.

They didn't have time. Balancing is the biggest issue to worry about. Sure, they could have added the characters in, but it would have taken even more time to balance them out with the rest of the characters.
